Infineon teams for 500W wireless charging module
Cette publication existe aussi en Français
Infineon Technologies has teamed up with Spark Connected in the US to develop a 500 W wireless charging design using its GaN power transistors and PSoC controller.
Yeti is a GaN-based ready-to-integrate wireless charging module for powering and charging of industrial machinery, autonomous mobile robots, automated guided vehicles, light electric vehicles, e-Mobility and other power-intensive applications.
The Yeti industrial module is based on CoolGaN transistors and the PSoC 63 Bluetooth microcontroller and delivers up to 500 W with an efficiency of over 95 percent for all common battery types and voltages.
This not only reduces power losses, but also improves the thermal management to boost the overall performance and durability. The module has a high misalignment tolerance of over 40 mm in all directions to give reliable charging even if the orientation is not perfectly accurate.
The Yeti module includes over-voltage and over-current protection to protect both the charger and connected equipment from potential damage or hazards. By eliminating the need for physical connectors and cables, this wireless charging system enables seamless and flexible charging, enhancing efficiency, productivity, and safety in industrial settings.
